FSVO "optimal". In practice, both physical reality and algorithm design strongly favors base 2.

- nighthawk454 3y agoYeah, specifically, the definition of optimal provided - radix economy. There are plenty of other considerations one could make in other contexts. Practically, a transcendental base seems... rather impractical. And base 2 is not so much 'more optimal' than base 3 to warrant the electrical complexity probably, for example.
